Abstract: | Surgery remains the mainstay of gynecologic cancer treatment, including radical hysterectomy, trachelectomy, and ovarian cancer cytoreduction. Historically, these procedures were performed through a large abdominal incision and were associated with prolonged hospitalization and significant morbidity. With advances in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), many of these operations are now being done as outpatient procedures, with less morbidity. This chapter focuses on the data behind the use of MIS and the robotic platform in gynecologic oncology. The technical aspects of common procedures performed with the robotic platform are also described. © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
